When to go

December to April

Best for the west and south coasts, the hill country and the Cultural Triangle. Ideal for Christmas and spring breaks from Europe.

May to September

Best for the east coast (Trincomalee, Pasikudah, Arugam Bay) and the north, so it suits European summer holidays. Kandy’s Esala Perahera is usually in July or August.

Questions and answers

Is LankaLane a travel agent?

No. LankaLane is a community and information website. We share trip ideas and, if you ask us to, pass your enquiry to a licensed tour company in Sri Lanka. We don’t sell, book or take payment for any travel.

How are the prices worked out?

They are planning estimates per person, based on 2 people sharing, hotels with breakfast and a private car with a driver-guide. Flights, visas, entrance fees and most meals are not included. Each trip page shows the price basis and the date it was last checked. The partner gives you the real quote.

Who will contact me after I enquire?

A licensed tour company based in Sri Lanka, named in the consent box on the form. They usually reply by email (or WhatsApp if you prefer) within 2 working days. Your booking, contract and payment are with them.

What happens to my details?

We only ask for what’s needed to plan your trip. Your request is stored on our EU server and emailed to our inbox, then shared only with the partner you agreed to. Because the partner is in Sri Lanka, the transfer is covered by EU Standard Contractual Clauses. We delete requests after 12 months. See our privacy policy.

Do I need a visa?

Most European passport holders need a Sri Lanka ETA (electronic travel authorisation) before they fly. Rules and fees change, so always check the official Sri Lanka ETA website and your airline before you travel.

Can you book my flights?

No. Please book flights yourself with an airline or a licensed travel agent. Our trip ideas start and end at Colombo airport.

Can I change a trip?

Yes. Every idea is a starting point. Add a note when you enquire, or use “Create your own trip”, and the partner will adjust the route, hotels and pace for you.
